Does the fee structure resemble this, http://wwmaa.org/members.htm#2, to anyone else? It is funny to me that this guy does a "copy and paste" of another organization's fee structure that is questionable per investigation by this forum.

And in the Kenpo community(at least in my branch of the tree) Marek is considered a joke and his lineage has been questioned by a few of the Kenpo Seniors.

I've been getting emails from the illustrious Dr. Marek for several months now, letting me know that time is running out for me to apply for my rank promotion/title certification, but I got one yesterday that made me laugh:

"Gurjot Singh Receives Grand PhD and 8th Degree Black Sash"

Hello Ed

The Board of Regents congratulates Grand Master Gurjot Singh, a 40-year Martial Arts veteran and retired US Army Ranger, to his Grand PhD in Martial Arts and he his promotion to 8th degree Black Sash in Internal Pugilism

Grand Master Singh is a retired Army veteran and holds a Master's Degree in Education from Troy University.

He is also the author of "The Art of Western Tai Chi Ch'uan" which is available on Amazon.

Some of you may remember Gurjot Singh from this thread, where he talked about the rigorous vetting he received by the World Martial Arts College. Apparently belonging to only one pay and play organization wasn't enough.

Numerous Korean universities offer TKD as a major or minor, other than that, dunno...

That's a completely different type of program, and those guys usually end up some of the top practitioners of the art. They bust their asses for four or more years, take classes in nutrition, kinesiology, etc. It's similar to any sort of focused physical education degree in the US, centered on a given sport. Yongin University offers degrees in Taekwondo, Yudo, Hapgido, etc.

It's not comparison to this bullshit.

How many PhDs are members of this site? Perhaps we need s scholarly committee to create the guidelines by which we say "Your Degree is Bullshit".

The other day I happen to come across the FaceBook site of the Bujinkan Melbourne Dojo (https://www.facebook.com/bujinkanmelbourne) and what do I see but a picture of a Doctorate and spiel a on how and why he was given this award.

Seeing this I did a quick Google saw this and a few other threads also the PDF of the "Doctorate" fees and promptly pasted links and possibly a few disparaging comments on what type of Martial Artist would try to pass of this type of thing to his students. I was Hoping for at least one bit of hate mail, but no my post was just deleted.

I was hoping that a few Bullshido members would like to post a comment or two on this frauds site.
